Recipes and Memories

As I was cleaning/sorting/organizing, I ran across some recipe cards from my mom and grandma. Both of these wonderful women have moved on from this world, and I miss them greatly. Every time I pull out those recipes, I am filled with memories, not just of cooking but of a childhood built around two strong, female role-models that shaped the person that I am today.

My next project is straight-forward and simple, yet daunting, nonetheless. I want to recreate those recipes to share with others so that they don’t die.

Here is the short list:

Lemon Poppy-seed bread

Dill Gravy

Oyster Stew

Runza Casserole

Pumpernickel (anise) cookies

Krumflecky (sp?)

Potato Dumplings

Chocolate Balls

Looking forward to this project! I’ll be posting links as I complete each recipes. Stay tuned…
